Synopsis
In a breathtaking young adult debut, the bestselling author of P.S. I Love You depicts a society in which perfection is paramount and any misstep leads to punishment.
If you break the rules, you will be punished.
Celestine North lives a perfect life.
She’s a model daughter and sister and she’s well-liked by her classmates and teachers. She’s also a girl of logic. To Celestine, every problem has a solution. Every action is either right, or wrong.
Celestine has always known about the Flawed, second-class citizens who are branded as punishment for their crimes. And she always thought they must deserve their punishment.
But everything changes when Celestine witnesses the mistreatment of a Flawed man, and steps up to help him. But in helping him, she reveals that she is imperfect. And in Celestine's society, imperfection is punished.
She is imprisoned. She is branded. She is flawed.
This riveting novel is the first installment of the Flawed series. Don't miss the continuation of Celestine's story in the second book, Perfect.

From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up—Logical perfectionist Celestine North lives in a future time and place where mistakes in moral or ethical judgment have serious consequences. Even simple mistakes can result in prison, shunning, and brutal branding with the letter F for Flawed. Traveling to school on a bus with her boyfriend and her sister, the 17-year-old protagonist risks her future when she helps a sick man who's marked with an F. Her life completely unravels when she defies Judge Crevan, a powerful leader of the Guild, who is also her boyfriend's father. As punishment, she is horribly branded with six F's from her head to her foot. Standing up against society's rigid rules not only leaves her disfigured but also eventually bars her from school and endangers her family. Her parents remain cautiously supportive, but her boyfriend disappears while she searches for the Flawed boy who was jailed beside her. Aysha Kala narrates with a convincing range of emotions and concise British diction. While the branding scene is disturbing, comparing Celestine's issues with current political discourse can provoke valuable discussion. This series starter leaves lots of compelling questions and introduces intriguing characters. VERDICT A worthwhile addition to young adult collections, this work will attract fans of dystopian literature as well as listeners who enjoyed Ahern's earlier adult titles. ["The brutal descriptions of the branding of those deemed Flawed are not easy to read, but it's a compelling thriller that's very hard to put down": SLJ 2/16 review of the Feiwel & Friends book.]—Barbara Wysocki, formerly with Cora J. Belden Library, Rocky Hill, CT
